Background

The Peru LNG pipeline transports fossil gas from a junction with TGP's Camisea pipeline in Chiquintirca, San Miguel de la Mar, Ayacucho, to the Peru LNG export terminal on Peru's Pacific coast. The Peru LNG terminal began operations as South America's first LNG processing plant in June 2010. Construction of the pipeline began in 2007 and was completed in 2010. It is the world's highest gas pipeline, attaining an altitude of 4901 meters above sea level.
